price will be calculated pro rata taking the number of nights aboard
in each period. A full week includes 7 nights aboard.

Anchor
Rating SystemLe
Boat gives an anchor rating of between two and
five to each boat to offer an idea of how affordable
or luxurious the vessels are.

Boats

on a small budget, as they are the cheapest
to hire whilst offering all of the basic functionality
you might need. The
more anchors a boat has, the more features
and space it boasts.

Please note that although seldom changed, Even if accepted by LE BOAT, this service can never be guaranteed due to unexpected events or force majeure (e.g. cancellation of the previous or the following customer).

Collision Damage Waiver:
We encourage all customers to take great care not to damage their boat, or that of anyone else, while on holiday. All customers must pay either a non-refundable Collision Damage Waiver (CDW) or a refundable Damage Deposit. With the CDW you will be fully covered i your boat is returned damaged, or if there is any accidental damage or injury to third parties. Our CDW rates vary from $126 - $357 depending on boat type and duration. The refundable Damage Deposit will be used if your boat is returned damaged or if there has been any accidental damage or injury to thir parties. The refundable Damage Deposit varies from $1620 - $3250 depending on boat type. Neither the CDW nor the refundable Damage Deposit covers loss or theft of, or damage to items of boat equipment or inventory. The replacement cost of any items of boat equipment or inventory will be charged for separately. Please see our terms and conditions for mor details.

All boats are fully covered for damage and damage to other property or vessels, with a damage excess of €1500 per incident. The following damage waiver options are available: (Please note: insurance options below do not covers bikes).

Option 1: a non-refundable collision damage waiver (CDW) which can be paid on arrival or at the time of booking. CDW rates are listed within this pricing sheet. With this option you will be fully covered if the boat is returned damaged, or an accident has resulted in its loss, as well as costs of any accidental damage or injury to any third parties. This will not be the case if there is evidence of gross neglect, which is excluded from our cover under our insurance policy. Loss of or damage to any item of inventory or boat equipment will be charged at a replacement cost, details of which are available at our bases. These charges do not alter the Hirer’s potential liability outlined in Clause 7 – Insurance.

Option 2:a refundable damage deposit which is to be paid in local currency at the base upon your arrival by either credit card or cash deposit. The deposit which varies according to boat type/duration of holiday (approximately $1,530-$2,925) will only be retained in part or in full if the boat is returned damaged or an accident has resulted in its loss, as well as costs of any accidental damage or injury to any third parties. This damage deposit will be the extent of your liability in respect of any damage to the boat except where there is evidence of gross neglect in which case you will be expected to cover the full extent of any repair costs. Loss of or damage to any item of inventory or boat equipment will be charged at a replacement cost, details of which are available at our bases. See Clause 14. Single sex bookings are required to pay the refundable damage deposit to encourage duty of care.
